“Let everyone know this is not an injury, but a super bad infection
in my blood,” Cerrone wrote on Instagram. “[Seven] days of IV and
I’ll be back at it. Working on getting the fight rescheduled.”

While nothing is official, Cerrone vs. Lawler is rumored to land at
UFC
214, which takes place on July 29 at the Honda Center in
Anaheim, Calif. That card is headlined by a light heavyweight
championship rematch between Daniel
Cormier and Jon Jones.
Whenever Cerrone vs. Lawler happens, it will mark the third time
the fight has been scheduled after previous bookings at UFC 205 and
UFC 213 fell through.

Cerrone vs. Lawler was set to occupy the pay-per-view main card at
UFC 213. It is currently unclear which bout would replace the
highly-anticipated 170-pound matchup. UFC 213 takes place at the
T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 8 and is topped by a women’s
bantamweight championship tilt between Amanda
Nunes and Valentina
Shevchenko.
